Discover one of the world’s last wild places

Imagine traveling all the way to Alaska, then going even farther…to a small, windswept island in the Bering Sea. St. Paul Island is raw and rich with wildlife, especially birds. When you journey here, you leave the crush of tourists and souvenir shops behind. What you’ll find instead is authentic Aleut culture, wide-open spaces and the breathtaking beauty of nature.

Migratory Bird Capital

Our location in the ocean between two continents makes St. Paul Island the ideal resting point for migrating birds. At least 248 species have been recorded on the island, including many rare birds making their spring migration. St. Paul Island is a birder’s paradise.

Kayak, hike and more

The Aleut people invented the kayak, so naturally, we have kayaks available for use on the island’s two lakes. Hike St. Paul’s rolling hills and beaches for gorgeous views of the ocean and tundra flowers where you’ll see plenty of seals, coastal birds and whales.

Travel to St. Paul

St. Paul Island is a 3.5-hour flight from Anchorage. The island is served by PenAir, a regional partner of Alaska Airlines. You can book your entire trip through Alaska Airlines or fly to Anchorage on another airline and book your PenAir flight to St. Paul Island separately.

Our tour packages

We offer a variety of tours available May through mid-October, from quick visits of 3 days/2 nights to 8 days/7 nights for in-depth exploration of the island and birding spots. Each includes round-trip airfare from Anchorage to St. Paul, shared accommodations and guide services.
